Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an important effector mechanism in immunity to virus infections. Which of the following cells is implicated?

What is the difference between thymus-independent (TI) and thymus dependent antigens (TD)

At what phase does the adpative immune system kicks in?

Antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) is an important effector mechanism in immunity to virus infections. Which of the following cells is implicated?

Thymus independent antigens can activate B cells by:

Macrophages’ activation require which of the following:

What characteristics of a pathogen renders it infective?

In germinal centers, proliferating B cells undergo a process called somatic hypermutation, in which mutations are introduced into the V regions of the antibody heavy and light chain genes. When this process is complete after several weeks, the overall affinities of the antibodies produced are greatly 

 Effector memory cells (TEM), are recirculating cells that can readily enter tissues at sites of inflammation and are ready to rapidly respond to re-infection. The subset of TEM cells provides an important component of protective immunity to re-infection by the same pathogen because:

Which of the following is a characteristic of mature plasma cells?
